In the second sentence of the book appears the phrase "a fourth kind of photo-receptor cell, called roads [sic]"

Hmmm...I wonder how much time I'd spend bogged down in typographical errors if I actually shelled out money for this book.

(The text does go on to use the correct term "rods" in the next paragraph.)

Considering the fact that most of the Image Processing/Computer Vision textbooks do not cover color image processing in sufficient depth, this book fills the need in this important area quite nicely. The authors are recognized experts in the area, particularly in color image filtering. The table of contents is as follows:

1. Color Spaces
2. Color Image Filtering
3. Adaptive Image Filters
4. Color Edge Detection
5. Color Image Enhancement and Restoration
6. Color Image Segmentation
7. Color Image Compression
8. Emerging Applications
9. Companion Image Processing Software

Strongly recommended to anyone interested in Color Image Processing.

An overall "okay" book for starters, but the content is very "elusive".

Needs a stronger mathematical backbone. Computer Vision and Image Processing rely very strongly on mathematics, which this almost refuses to present, referring to publications - not what you expect in a text book, but of course a good resource for people interested in image processing!
